I don't know. One thing to note is that with the current
synchronization implementation, every object is mutable. This can be
changed (the compiler part of this is done), but nobody has done so.
Synchronization is something that comes up periodically here. I'd
like to get a chance to do some work on that, but so far it hasn't
happened.
